I have an older machine that now contains FreeBSD 3.1. I will be moving
soon, and when
I move, I'll have access to a cable modem connection. From what I
understand, this ISP
uses dynamic IP addressing.
Under the FreeBSD gateway machine, there will be two workstations, a
Windows version,
and (another) FreeBSD version. I want the FreeBSD gateway machine to route
the packets
from the internet to the two machines. I want to implement IP
masquerading. I own a
registered domain (but we'll just call it example.com for simplicity). I
want to be able to share
files and folders between the three machines. I plan to have someone else
host my
www.example.com until I can afford to get a server to maintain at home.
Now, I would like to setup my PCs in the meantime. From what I
understand, Samba and
network mounts are for sharing the files and folders right?
What exactly would the gateway need in my situation...a firewall? DNS
services? NATD?
What about the workstations? Do I just need the edit the local.rc file?
Any links, recommended reading, and /or advice is more than welcome.
The setup will be as follows:
X <---internet cable connection
\
\
\
------------
| | <---gateway.example.com (FreeBSD OS)
------------
|
|
____
| | <---10MB 5-port HUB
